Definitions
- the present invention relates to electronic cigarettes and vaporizers.
- indirect heating of the inhalant material is accomplished by providing an electronic cigarette and/or vaporizer system wherein the inhalant material disposed above and at least somewhat spaced apart from the heating element, such that the heating element in effect “bakes” the inhalant material.
- baking denotes that the heat source is disposed beneath the inhalant material such that convection due to the rising heat is sufficient to heat the inhalant material for inhalation.
- baking While “baking”-type systems are useful and efficient, in certain circumstances the baking configuration can cause an overflow of inhalant material or inefficient heating to the point where the inhalant material undesirable falls down onto or otherwise makes direct contact with the heating element or portions of the inhalant material remain unheated or partially heated, to the detriment of the overall smoking experience.
- the present invention is directed at an alternative to the “burn”-type and “bake”-type electronic cigarettes and vaporizer systems. Namely, the present invention contemplates various embodiments of a broiler-type heating device for electronic cigarettes and vaporizer systems.

- the terms “electronic cigarette” and “vaporizer” are interchangeable and generally refer to an electronic device configured to heat a target inhalant material to be inhaled by the user by mouth.
- “Inhalant material” for purposes of this disclosure refers to any desired material to be heated and inhaled by way of the electronic cigarette or vaporizer.
- Such materials include, without limitation, liquids such as glycol-based solutions, semi-solid or solid concentrates such as oils and waxes, shatter, and dry material such as tobacco, herbs, flowers, and aromatics.
- vaping refers generally to the act of using electronic cigarettes and vaporizers for the purposes of generating vapor, smoke, aerosol or other material to be inhaled for pleasure or for the delivery of medicaments or substances to the body; notably, the term is not limited to the act of generating or inhaling only vapor—it refers more broadly to the act of inhaling material by way of electronic devices, as opposed to traditional smoking implements such as cigarettes, pipes, cigars, and the like.

- an encased heating element such as a heating element comprising a wire encased in a quartz or other semi-precious gem material, further enhances the safety and usability of the heating device by preventing direct contact between the inhalant material and the heating wire of the heating element that can result in a toxic reaction and buildup of residue on the heating device components.
- the avoidance of direct contact between the inhalant material and the heating element also has the further advantage of improving flavor and vapor (or smoke or aerosol) concentration as it provides a cleaner reaction. Any of these heating elements, whether encased or not, can be implemented into the heating devices described herein to initiate a heating, vaporization (phase change), or combustion reaction inside the device.
- the heating device of the present invention in its various embodiments, are configured to accept one or more inhalant material containers such as those described in Applicant's U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 15/832,582 and 15/885,614, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- inhalant materials containers comprise cup-like and tube-like inhalant material containers which are useful from a health and convenience standpoint in that the containers can be inserted and removed on-demand, obviating the need to manually insert inhalant material into the internal storage area of the heating devices.
- such inhalant material contains also provides a health benefit in that they can at least partially prevent direct contact between the inhalant material and the heating element of the heating device, thereby preventing a potentially toxic reaction between the inhalation material and the heating element.
- Limiting direct contact between the inhalant material and the heating element also has the further advantage of improving flavor and vapor (or smoke or aerosol) concentration as it provides a cleaner reaction.
- the various connector elements of the embodiments of the heating devices can, in some embodiments, function to provide both a physical connection between components and an electrical connection between components.
- the connectors are configured with the aforementioned electrical contacts and/or anode/cathode configuration that interconnect and electrically couple the anode/cathode of the heating element to the anode/cathode of the battery or other power supply.
- at least one or more of the connectors is threaded.
- the present invention is not limited to threaded connectors as other physical connections means are equally suitable such as interference fits, snap-fits, spring-biased fits, magnetic connections, and combinations thereof and the like.
- a device A coupled to a device B should not be limited to devices or systems wherein an output of device A is directly connected to an input of device B. It means that there exists a path between an output of A and an input of B which may be a path including other devices or means.
- the enumerated listing of items does not imply that any or all of the items are mutually exclusive, unless expressly specified otherwise.
- the terms “a”, “an” and “the” mean “one or more”, unless expressly specified otherwise.
- Elements of the invention that are in communication with each other need not be in continuous communication with each other, unless expressly specified otherwise.
- elements of the invention that are in communication with each other may communicate directly or indirectly through one or more other elements or other intermediaries.
